Well there ya go.

Beyond the ability to boooo at a show, there are no copyrights or NHQ mandates on (most of) these steps and the mimickers aren't infringing upon us. We move on.

It just confirms that Youtube is THE DEVIL.

okay, I guess I was also wondering if people are supportive of non-NPHC orgs that step and stroll, especially the asian ones that really don't have any traditions rooted in it (I mean, unless they added like chopsticks or fans to their routine, and yes, I am being very stereotypical )

have you (and by you, I mean you in general, not specifically) ever been approached by these other orgs for help on learning how to step and stroll? if not, if you were approached by them, would you help them or just direct them to youtube and other reading materials about stepping/strolling? or tell them this ain't your tradition, find your own?

My support is that I stay out of their way. They aren't a big enough part of my Greek existence for me to really care. Non-NPHC GLOs rarely step around here and when they do it's usually horrible so that speaks for itself.

Coming to us for help is a form of showing respect to who "originated" stepping. So that's cool. I just wouldn't be the one helping because I reserve that type of Greekdom interest, time, and effort for Delta.

i don't think latinos even have a long history of even going to college, let alone having GLOs (oops, was that too stereotypical?)

Right and like I said we move on.

Unwritten rules often get broken and you have to get over it.
